Control of a photovoltaic source emulator using artificial neural network

The photovoltaic (PV) emulator is a nonlinear power supply that produces a similar current-voltage characteristic of the PV module. However, the PV emulator output is volatile due to the nonlinear characteristic of the PV module. Conventionally, the overdamped PV emulator is required to prevent inst...
